Fluffy Audio / Simple Opera Singer

[Piet De Ridder]

Fluffy Audio have released Simple Opera Singer, a multi-syllable legato library of the singer which already featured in Fluffy's "Spaghetti Western".

"Ji Min Oh is one of those singers who has made an instrument out of her voice: from the softest, most delicate nuances to the clearest fortissimo, her timbre is clean, precise, powerful, and yet expressive and moving. Therefore, after the session – when we sampled her for Spaghetti Western – we thought to extend the sampling with a unique legato articulation with syllables and quasi-words to make the most out of her remarkable lyrical voice.

Compared with the Opera Singer made for Spaghetti Western, Simple Opera Singer features one more microphone position and a special articulation called “words legato”, which triggers random syllables to make the line “singing” (…a kind of Italian / German grammelot, although the lyrics are meaningless the results are impressive!).

Important! If you own "Spaghetti Western" and wish to upgrade your Opera Singer, you should receive a coupon code to get "Simple Opera Singer" with a 50% discount. Similarly, if you own "Simple Opera Singer", you will receive a 10% discount on "Spaghetti Western"!"

Intro price €39,00, regular price: €49,00.

That's surprisingly good!

The main thing catching my ear is some of the S sounds - actually they might be Ts. They often sound like they do at 31s which sounds more like a clothing brush than a vocal sound (T?), whereas at 34s it sounds normal (S?). Anyone else's ear caught by this?

But that aside it's really quite astonishing for 40 euros. You'd never want to use any VI for real up front opera singing, but as a demo or a trick it's a damn good one.

(...) Anyone else's ear caught by this? (...)

Yes. Should be not too difficult to work around though, I think.
